Every morning before heading to the hospital we check in with Dave to see what kind of night Jen had. Unfortunately, he did not have good news to report. Jen struggled throughout the night and things only got worse when the nurses came in to give her her bath. She gets very agitated when she is "messed" with. Her oxygen levels dropped, her blood pressure and heart rate soared. The progress Jen has made the last couple of days has been really encouraging. This really set her back. It took a very long time to calm her down. Poor Dave. Watching Jen struggle for 5 min is horrible - to see it go on for any longer than that had to be absolute torture. She was on 100% oxygen for most of the day. It took a lot out of her...not a good day. She did start to improve as the day went on. They are seeing now just how much sedation Jen needs to get adequate rest. They do not believe her lungs are any worse than they were. The lung biopsy did not happen and who knows if it ever will.
Jen will get good rest tonight and tomorrow will be better.
